The game was effectively over as a contest now, with Halifax enjoying more and more possession as the match went on.

Half-time substitutes Elliott Whitehouse and Josh Macdonald both impressed, with both new signings comfortable on the ball and relishing the extra time and space the visitors’ numerical advantage allowed them.

Whitehouse curled a shot just off target from 20 yards before the first of Burrow’s brace when he headed in from close range from a corner.

His second was also a close range finish, which came after trialist Sean Tuton slid the ball in smartly from a tight angle.
